You've given the snakes such expressive faces, and who knew that could be done. I especially like the bottom right corner snake.

Excellent canvas!

thank you....i started drawing more snakes lately... they will be on my next painting... starting to grow on me i think...

Wow, I like it. I'm actually a fan of such strong, a little creepy surreal art. Take a look at the art of Beksinski, it may be somewhat inspiring: https://steemit.com/art/@m-san/impressive-art-of-polish-painter-zdzislaw-beksinski
How long it took you to paint this (excluding scanning and producing stickers)?

This is very cool man. Something about your style I really like. I dig the linework you use and the colors are always top notch.

You seem like you are the constantly working on your craft type.

thanks man.... i think i got lucky and fell into my style pretty quick... i do remember that first year at art school where i was damn near mimicing any and every style just to find something that fits... and it's such a cool feeling to be able to bust out art on the spot that's unique.

what do u use for the black lining?

ps: ofc i love it too :>

so i found that black gel pen works the best... or a really fine point black ink pen like 0.25-0.4, but those are hard to find in a store i gotta usually order them online... from Japanese supply store... for some reason they have way better precision art supplies.... and thanks ofc

Fantastic art my friend 😍
keep it up😍

thank you very much

Damn this is sick! Love your style. Thanks for sharing your process.

right on man thanks for checking it out

I really like the stickers, how did you make them?

so i scanned the painting into photoshop... printed it on some nice paper... cut that out... then laminate them... cut that out... and then run it thru a little sticker machine to give it that sticky back... now that i write it out like that seems mad tedious lmao... thanks for checking out the art
